Hi everyone!

I take AUD for the second time on July 1, and it is my last exam if I pass. I'm using Roger CPA review and just finished section 1. I will supplement with Ninja MCQ after I get through all of roger's lectures and IPQ.

What's up guys. I'll be taking AUD in July. But first, it's BEC today and then a couple days off to start AUD with a rested and fresh mind.

I took AUD for the first time.
I only studied for a month so it doesn't feel like there's a good chance but I studied hard.
I scored 68 on the 2nd mock exam on becker but I'm not sure if they are predictable or reliable…
It was for sure with the old version because that's how I knew I passed FAR and BEC.

Hope we all pass!

Taking AUD July 1 after having sat for FAR 5/27. Took a review course in my last month of grad school, and using my time between now and my exam date to re-read Wiley book and do MCQs/ Sims using Wiley CPAExcel. Here's hoping for passing scores come August/ September.

what's going on ninjas?! Just sat for FAR a little over a week ago and now diving into AUD, plan to sit for the exam in early-mid August.

Hi guys!! Just sat for FAR yesterday. Planning to start studying for Auditing this weekend. Any recommendations for studying techniques for AUD? Would really appreciate any suggestions 🙂

[Affekerl]

I'm going to try and do AUD in late August or in September. I passed it before, but the credit will expire if it turns out I failed FAR or REG in Q2. Not sure when to start studying tho. 3 months ahead is just crazy.

AUD: 81 (10/30/15)
BEC: 80 (01/19/16)
REG: XX (05/XX/16)
FAR: XX (07/XX/16)

I am resitting AUD in Aug/Sep. I would like to know recommended study strategy.. reading textbook all over again once and do test-bank?

Because I have fair time, I probably would like to try another supplementary in addition to ninja. Any recommendation for textbook and test-bank respectively?

Thanks!

Just took far, getting ready to start on aud. Shooting for a mid july test date.

[notanauditor]

Hi guys! I just sat for FAR in Q2 and am planning on taking AUD for the second time in early July. It looks like most people who failed before scored 68? I heard from someone that if even you did well on MCQ but not so well on sims they will not let you pass…for those people did you all feel you did significantly worse on the sims than MCQs?

Well I felt pretty good when I took it the first time and I thought I was going to pass but then didn't :/ argh gotta study a ton for this section this month while others are out enjoying their summer!

[greenolive]

Hi everyone! This is my first time taking AUD. I am studying with Roger CPA review and planning on purchasing NINJA MCQ when I am done going through the course.

I have previously passed FAR and am waiting on the results for REG. I don't think I did well though.

I have been studying for AUD for about a week now but very little because it seems like it is the hardest material to get into. I find myself constantly unmotivated so I hope I can get my motivation back!!

Hoping to take the test on July 3rd!

[Eli]

@greenolive We're in pretty much the same position–both using roger and taking the exam early july.

I completely understand what you mean about the material. Professional responsibilities and ethics has to be the driest material out of all the exams. It was like reading the dictionary. I'm working on the IPQ for Internal Control now and find myself getting frustrated all the time at the questions being asked and the answers for them. The most difficult part about AUD is definitely choosing the “best” answer when there is more than one correct answer.

Retaking AUD this July…any recommendations on what to focus on for the new audit exam?
